On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers saw their fortunes take a turn for the better.

After a tumultuous 2018-19 season that saw the team battle through injuries and fire head coach Luke Walton, something finally went right for the Lakers.

During the NBA’s draft lottery announcement on Tuesday night, the Lakers held a 2.8-percent chance of landing the No. 4 pick in the draft.

LeBron and the Lakers are in position to make a bold play for New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis. However, after the Pelicans landed the No. 1 overall pick in the draft, the team’s desire to make an Anthony Davis trade likely disappeared.

With Zion Williamson on the team, the Pelicans could compete for a spot in the Western Conference playoffs.
